Well, my Saint Patrick's Month was pretty bananas. Flogging Molly ended up being sold out so missed that, while Erin Go Brawl was cancelled.

However Pogues and Wolfe Tones were intense, not to mention Celtic FC winning the Co-Op Cup against Rangers 2-0 in extra time. Saw that with the Woodside CSC, great group of people at Saints And Sinners to enjoy the match with.

The Irish lads did it for Celtic too, O'Dea and McGeady both scoring the winners. Lost my voice that weekend from singing during both concerts and then the game.

The day itself was spent all about NYC, and was quite an adventure, that night was spent on the top floor of Millenium Hilton. Thats right, real big pimping, 2 bedroom and 2.5 bath, overlooking Ground Zero and a view of the Statue of Liberty. Very swank.

Now its time for some sweet-ass videos (or a la xkcd, sweet ass-videos). First up, Bernard Dunne is the new Bantamweight champion coming out of Ireland:

Fight of the Year candidate. Fireworks start about 2:40 in.

Second we have the dominating '09 Irish Rugby team. First Grand Slam victory in 61 years. What a month this has been for Irish and pro-Irish sports. Little montage action:

Congrats Bhoys, well deserved!
